Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had an applause line that should have brought the house down in his speech at Wednesday’s official ceremony celebrating 50 years of settlement in Judea and Samaria, the Jordan Valley and the Golan Heights. Netanyahu was speaking before a crowd of thousands in Gush Etzion, which was destroyed by the Arab Legion in the War of…

My Take on Kurdistan is simple, the Kurds Finally Deserve Independence. The Kurds were been abandoned by the West after World War I, they finally deserve their own state. For the world to support the establishment of a state of “Palestine” yet be against the establishment of a state of Kurdistan is a moral failure of the Western world.

I was live with Avi Abelow in my dining room discussing the latest terror attack against the backdrop of the new accord between Hamas and the PLO and US envoy Jason Greenblatt’s visit. We also discussed the Kurdish independence referendum as well as the rise of the far right in Germany.

While many people are responding by saying that any military strike on North Korea would bring dead Koreans, and can not be considered, John Bolton asks these people in return “well what about dead Americans” from a nuclear North Korea?…

As the New Year 5778 begins, 88% of Israeli Jews say that they are happy and satisfied with their lives. This makes sense. Israel’s relative security, its prosperity, freedom and spiritual blossoming make Israeli Jews the most successful Jewish community in 3,500 years of Jewish history. The same cannot be said for the Jews of the Diaspora. In Western Europe,…

Yair Netanyahu, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 26-year-old son, has been getting some harsh press in recent weeks. Yair walked (or toddled) onto the stage of public life when he was five years old as he and his then two-year-old little brother Avner accompanied their parents, Bibi and Sara, into the Prime Minister’s Residence for the first time in 1996. For…
